University research and R&D from ag tech companies converge on the practice of precision crop load management…
Optimized crop load delivers optimum profitability.
Even the researchers and extension specialists who have promoted precision crop load management for the past decade agree that is far easier said than done.
“To do that, we’ve developed manual approaches that are time-consuming, and no one likes to do them,” said Terence Robinson, applied fruit crop physiologist at Cornell University. “Growers love the information but hate to do it for their farm.”
